Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 > If you have your child on Kirkman's NuThera, that " counts " as the > multivitamin. Am I correct in that? Anyone give additional multi vit? > Janelle *** Well, yes and no. I add some zinc at night, plus more folic acid with my son's DMG, and Calcium & magnesium Of course, these are minerals). It depends also on the child's needs. So yes, the multi is a good choice, but always look at what the child needs, if he may be more deficient of certain things, otherwise just the SNT is fine, I believe .. Some give extra vit C and A (CLO). I think it is a personal choice, maybe other will advise better since I am not doing this. *** Cristina-WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 Do you mean Poly-Vi-flor or is it what you typed?

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 I am not sure of chewable, however there is a site called vita4life that sells vitamins specifically for bariatric surgery patients. The vitamins contain all the vitamins and calcium for ust to maintain our health. You may want to check them out. www.vita4life.com I buy my vitamins at a healthfood store and I just make sure they are in capsule form.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Does anyone have their insurance pay for the ADEKs? Mine pays for the chromagen forte but I wasn't sure about the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 <Does anyone have their insurance pay for the ADEKs? My insurance company (Guardian/HealthNet POS) refused to pay for the ADEKs because they are not a prescription medication, even though " prescribed " because necessary. I ordered mine through CF Foundation. I paid $13 a bottle but just heard from a friend that they now charge $20 bottle. I can buy them from my local pharmacy for $23 a bottle.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 * , LJ (my son) only takes a basic vitamin and has been GFCF for 19 1/2 months so far and all is fine. He gets complete blood work done at the peds. office and everything is fine. His eating habits are great though and he eats a VAST variety of foods, so I am sure all he needs is being met with the foods he consumes with his meals. I don't give anything other then a multi-vit.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi Jazz, If you are pre op just take them as you would normally. It isn't until you have surgery that you have to worry about the higher doses of vitamins. Any multivitamin is ok. Before surgery I just got the multivitamins that Kaiser sold and took those until surgery. Ramona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi ther Jazz - yes you can start your vits before your surgery and in fact it is suggested. Have you had your orientation yet? If you have, everything is listed in your binder. If you haven't yet gone you can start on MultiVits and Calcium. Before surgery I took 2 chewable Centrums and 4 ExStr. Tums daily. It is a good habit to get into as early as you can because you will need to take your vits forever. I hope this helps. I'll check my binder when I get home and see if ther is something else you should be taking BEFORE surgery.
